We’re almost used to it by now. T-Mobile does something awesome, and someone else copies. More recently, it was Sprint’s attempt to copy Uncarrier 4.0’s offer to pay off a customer’s ETF with another carrier to switch and join its network that got the headlines. Today, it’s U.S. Cellular’s turn. The carrier’s Simple Connect plans were launched today and are almost a direct copy of … [read full article]

At the end of last week, T-Mobile surprised us all by rolling out an update set of Simple Choice plans. Replacing its three-tier system with four.

The reason for this price increase has been … [read full article]

Part of T-Mobile’s big wave-making last year was the addition of free international roaming in 100 countries as part of its Simple Choice plans. It was the first time any major carrier had been as bold, and has already seen positive results for those traveling abroad. A handful of blog posts across the tech scene have lauded its benefits, even if the data is limited to EDGE speeds. As good as roaming may … [read full article]

A short while ago, one of our anonymous sources sent us the above screenshot showing some new Simple Choice plans Tmo is supposedly going to implement. Allegedly, they’re due to be released tomorrow. The only other additional information we have is that these are “data-only smartphone plans”. Currently, T-Mobile has a three-tier Simple Choice plan system for individuals. Each offers unlimited talk and text, but with different data allowances. $50 gets you 500MB, … [read full article]

For the vast majority, their … [read full article]
